I've been playing a bit with D'Bridge and Freq-U.
I managed to make it work, though I had to edit DBRIDGE.BNK and change:

 domain fidonet DATA/FIDONET 2

to:

 domain fidonet C:/DB/DATA/FIDONET 2

With the default, non-absolute path, Freq-U stopped with an error.

The problem is that DB will generate DBRIDGE.BNK again and the change will be lost.
